The Columbus officer, who has also not been identified, was investigating a hit-and-run case when he heard cries for help from a nearby home regarding the girl's mother, who had cut herself, Columbus Police Department spokeswoman, Denise Alex-Bouzounis said.
When the officer tried to enter the home to provide help, the family's mixed-breed dog charged at him in the doorway.
He fired off a shot but missed as the bullet accidentally struck the girl instead, NBC4 reported.
